Before quiet time was a habit, it was a heritage. Journey through the story of how believers came to meet God alone, and learn how remembering their path can restore the beauty of community and the wonder of his Word.

Quiet Time is the story of people interacting with scripture. It wasn't always easy for Christians. Some couldn't read. Others shared a single copy with hundreds or even thousands. Many died for defending the idea that individual believers had a right and obligation to study the sacred text on their own.

What past Christians discovered in hardship we have lost in our ease. Come inside the story of the Bible's past to discover how it can continue to speak into our future. In these pages, you will encounter lost practices and insights that can lay the path for Bible intake for coming generations. 

Today, it is trendy to brush off a regular Bible reading as an old-fashioned idea of the 20th century. It is hardly a necessity when "all I need is Jesus!" Quiet Time challenges this argument with a resounding call to return to the fountain of Christian understanding. To become like Christ, one must be changed in the presence of his words.
